AUCTION: The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority and the Department of Environmental Protection announced on Monday the agencies will host an auction March 20 for the sale and purchase of nutrient credits in the Susquehanna and Potomac watersheds.

The auction, intended to encourage and facilitate the trading of nutrient credits, will be a “forward” auction, where certified credits will be sold at auction, delivered later, and applied to 2013 and future compliance years.

The auction will afford wastewater treatment plants in the two watersheds the opportunity to purchase credits to meet their nitrogen and phosphorus discharge limits for the compliance years.

DEP’s nutrient credit trading program provides a way for facilities that are subject to nitrogen and phosphorus limits to meet those limits by working with other facilities, non-point sources or both.

Markit Inc. will provide auction services.
